Wow, Mark Melancon too. AA has had enough of this garbage. Braves MASSIVELY upgraded the pen with 3 dudes. Guess that means no starter, but with the way Julio, Fried, Soroka, and Keuchel are pitching, that may be OK.

Those starters with some decent relief will be fine if the offense does what they’ve been doing.
Unfortunately this S Greene guy either does not pitch well with pressure on a winning team or just pitiful against NL hitters. Blown save last night and now gives up 3 in 10th vs not so mighty Reds. Any chance we can reverse the trade?
This one is on Snitiker. You have 2nd and 3rd 1 out and Albies on third. He should have bunted Duvall. Reds would have never made the play on Albies at home and even if they did you would still have 1st and 3rd 2 outs. You just needed one run. I know it's the homerun age but it's still within the rules to bunt once and a while.
Yeah, just shook my head. Not the relief we were looking for. That 3-run shot was rocked. Looked like Greene was throwing BP.
Awful AB by Duvall, chasing a bunch of balls with an open bag.
Do we have any evidence Duvall knows how to bunt? He doesn't look like someone who practices bunting a lot. Also it's really hard to bunt someone home with the infield in unless you have the squeeze on. Granted that would be a very exciting way to end the game I just don't trust Duvall to get a bunt down consistently.
If he can't bunt he shouldn't be a major league baseball player.
